I have exceptional leadership, project management, and statistical analysis and modeling skills, and I am very proficient in IBM SPSS (using it for statistical analysis and modeling) and Modeler software (using it for statistical analysis and modeling and for text and data mining). I am also proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Visual Basic.

Math

Biostatistics

Since June 2008, I have been teaching numerous advanced statistical analysis classes for IBM, including the class entitled Advanced Statistical Methods for Healthcare Research. This particular class covers many biostatistical methods such multi-way and multivariate ANOVA, linear & logistic regression, discriminant analysis, and t-tests. In addition, I have been tutoring many students in advanced statistical research and analysis---consistently receiving the highest ratings.

Highly Recommend!

Donald was not only extremely knowledgeable in helping me with my Ph.D. level statistics research practicum, but also down to earth. He was extremely timely in returning correspondence. He was easy to talk to and I felt comfortable asking him any questions I had. He found a way to make things easier to understand because he meets you at the level you are. I would definitely recommend him and plan to utilize his services if I need any assistance with my dissertation research design!

Dana, 3 lessons with Donald

Knowledgeable and great tutor

Donald and I went over the basics of SPSS, the different functions and how it operates using sample data. We discussed data quality and how to manipulate and massage data

Adam, 2 lessons with Donald

Great SPSS ANOVA tutor

An extremely productive session. I feel prepared for my exam and have a grasp of concepts that were difficult for me too understand. Great instructor. Very knowledgeable.

Alisa, 1 lesson with Donald

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

I am at the start of an advanced inferential statistics class. Don has been a patient and knowledgeable tutor. He is helping me to put the pieces together between the previous statistics class and the current curriculum.
This semester will be a lot less stressful with his guidance. I am looking forward working with him each week to give context to the lesson being taught.

Tim, 12 lessons with Donald

We had a great lesson

Our session was a refresher course in statistics and SPSS. We reviewed chi squares, ANOVAs, types of variables and SPSS shortcuts. He verified that my content analysis was on the right track, but also gave me ideas to improve the study. The hour with him saved me many hours of grief. I plan to work with him again.

SPSS Modeler Professional

Mr. Donald helped me with my data mining using SPSS modeler. He was patient and he took his time to explain every thing in details to me. I will surely recommend him and will use him again. I really learnt a lot today.
Thanks

Thank you so much Mr. Donald

I am doing thesis paper I was confusing with my data ,but after I meet Donald Everything become clear for me .He helped me to put a good plan to complate my paper .

Ghadah, 7 lessons with Donald

Proactive and clear expertise

I am so incredibly grateful to Don! I was struggling with my dataset in SPSS for two weeks and in the first minute of our session Don said he had figured out the issue. We spent our time working through how to address the issue in two different ways, and he showed me the work he had done before our session as an example. He then sent the examples to me after our session so I could work on my own. I'm able to move forward with my dissertation thanks to Don!

Knowledgeable and helpful

What a Godsend! He makes Statistics easy to understand. Very kind and patient. I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders after I had my first session with Donald. Thank you so much for offering your talent

Knowledgeable Tutor

Extremely knowledgeable and a great teacher. Being a doctoral student taking a required Statistics for research class with my last math class being 30 years ago, Donald is the right blend of patience and support. It feels less daunting now.
